Krusteaz Light & Crispy Belgian Waffle Mix - No Artificial Flavors, Colors, or Preservatives - 28 Oz (Pack of 3)

I didn't realize that this mix only came with instructions to make an entire box or half box. That is 26 waffles (or 13 for half box!) I didn't need that many so I tried to figure out the amount for 4. I did it using grams and a kitchen scale. I adore my kitchen scale for baking. No more spooning flour into some measuring cup and leveling, what a mess and so many extra things to wash! With a scale, you can measure right into a bowl and dump it in (or all in one bowl with the tare function.) Anyway, it turns out that the weight of the waffle mix and water end up being pretty equal. So for the box scaled down to 4 Belgian waffles, it ended up being 348 grams of mix and 349 grams water (one gram doesn't make much difference here.) I did measure it the old way and it was 2.5 cups of mix and almost 1.5 cups of water. Except in my waffle maker, it wasn't enough and I only got like 3.75 waffles. I use this Presto Flip waffle maker and I think it is pretty standard. So...with even more math, the sweet spot for 4 waffles in my iron ended up being 372 grams of water and 372 grams of mix. (That's 93 grams of water and 93 grams of mix for each waffle). Btw, I didn't measure this new amount for 4 out with cups as it is like 2 2/3 mix and 1.6 cups or something close. It is weird because gram weights and ounces and cups and liquid cups are all sort of different measurements. And it's hard to measure 1.55 of water!! With grams, it was easy!!! Just make water and mix in equal grams!!! After all that, how were the waffles??! I thought they were good. I still prefer the Golden Malted ones, I think. And homemade ones taste better (but mine don't get that nice crust like a mix.) I think these would be a little better with a touch of vanilla and maybe nutmeg (anything with milk in it is better with a little nutmeg!! Yes, even things like mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese!) Maybe even a touch of sugar for sweeter waffles. Or maybe it needs some acid like a buttermilk or a few drops of vinegar. I don't know, but they did seem to need ~something~. I do use real maple syrup (it is local here in Pennsylvania!) but any kind of toppings you like are fine (do at least TRY real rather than fake maple syrup though.) Overall, these are solid waffles. Not the best I've ever had, but easy and decent. I may try to tweak them a little (I have a box box left!) but it isn't necessary. I may compare them side by side with the Golden Malted to see which I prefer. This is super easy though as you only need water so if you are out of eggs or butter, you still can make them! That alone is sort of worth a spot in the pantry or freezer (I do keep flour in the freezer for longer term storage.)

Made fabulous waffles, fluffy and great tasting

I have all ways loved these They are delicious

I thought this was a bit pricey having bought 5 pound boxes of waffle mix in the past when I worked in the restaurant business but I guess everybody has to make a profit but the good thing is when you figure out how many waffles you get out of this you’re more than get your money back. These are great waffles there better than using your traditional pancake mix and hoping for the best all those are our round pancakes with holes in it this is a true waffle and will stand up with fruit syrup or whatever you choose to put on it. So really don’t let the price scare you but if you figure out that if you go to a diner a waffle cost four dollars and they’re certainly going to get a lot more Out of this box than that. I’ve always found it’s best to make it the day before and let them spend the night in the refrigerator that way it has a way of working itself all together. Enjoy

Makes Nice thick, sweet waffles. Kids and Grandkids always look forward to Grampa’s Waffles when they visit. Much better than any other brand.

My husband wanted a waffle maker for Christmas, and so I purchased him the Cuisinart one that flips over to cook evenly. Then I looked for waffle mix. This mix is awesome! All you have to add is cold water. Thank you, everyone, for your wonderful reviews (I read all of the reviews before buying something). In their reviews, people said to use COLD water, so we used water from the filtered refrigerator dispenser. The recipe on the box is a little overwhelming, but someone said to use 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons of mix, with 1-1/4 cups of cold water. For a dinner meal of sausage, applesauce, and waffles, for 4 people, we tripled that, and had 2 waffles left over to eat the next day warmed in the microwave. So, we used: 6 cups plus 6 TB mix, and 3-3/4 cups cold water. Then whisked with a whisk. There were a few small lumps left, but it was pretty smooth. It was OK to just scoop the mix out of the box, not leveling it or being too obsessive. It didn't seem to matter if the batter was a little thicker or thinner, the waffles came out tender and flavorful and delicious. The 3/4 cup measuring cup came with the Cuisinart waffle maker, so I scooped and poured the waffle batter with that. I started pouring the batter around the outside area of the waffle maker first, and then spiraled inward (instead of pouring it all down into the center), and then you immediately close the waffle maker and flip it over to cook. Also, the waffles cooked right after the mix was stirred up came out just as good as the ones cooked last, when the mix had been sitting and raising up a bit in the bowl. So, we ended up using almost half of this huge box of mix in just one meal. We are definitely getting more after we finish off this box! I have made yeast-raised waffle batter in the past, but this mix tastes just as good, but it's so easy and stress-free! The flavor is wonderful, not too sweet, just right. The next day, our son microwaved the two waffles that were left over for breakfast, at about 20-30 seconds on high. This waffle mix is a real winner. We served the waffles with choices of chunky applesauce, Nutella, or real maple syrup.

Delicious waffles from my Belgium Waffle maker

These are professional quality waffles. I was hoping for them to be as good as the ones that Hampton Inn serves for breakfast (my wife's favorite when she travels) --- and these turned out to be even better than Hampton's. What a pleasant surprise! They are well worth the higher cost compared to lower end waffle mixes, especially since most lower end mixes require adding other ingredients such as oil, eggs, or milk. This mix requires adding nothing except water, which makes up for part of the price difference. My only small criticism is that the box has preparation instructions only for quantities of batter that produce large numbers of waffles, but we are not a restaurant or a hotel, and we want only one waffle at a time. A bit of careful arithmetic told me that batter for one waffle requires 3.25 ounces of mix (about 0.4 cups) and 1.91 ounces of water (a bit less than 1/4 of a cup). Since measuring cups don't have lines denoting these "uneven" quantities, it's necessary to approximate --- and the approximation is made harder because the mix is too thick to sit level in a measuring cup --- but the waffles are still absolutely delicious even though I can never get exactly the amounts that I'm aiming for.
